My husband and I both take this product, since I trust the brand and I read that glycinate and malate are good forms of magnesium to take (and they don't produce a laxative effect). We each only take one capsule (half a dose) at bedtime, since they're a bit pricey. It still seems to relax us enough to enjoy a restful night's sleep, though. We don't exhibit any signs of magnesium deficiency when we take this regularly. The capsules are a bit on the large side, which I think this is pretty common with magnesium supplements.
